Naughty Dog President and the last American director Neil Druckmann says that he “never” thinks of sequel for games in which he works in the middle of it because he does not have that “level of trust”.
When Reported by IGNDruckmann and Cory Barrog from Sony Santa Monica both spoke last week on the DICE top when the question of how their respective teams approached the development of characters over several games. For Druckmann, this is clearly not something he is planning, because he “never” thinks of “multiple games” at the same time.
Apart from arguing that “the game consumes for us all”, Druckmann believes that “you Jinxt when you start thinking about the sequel when you work on the first game.” Instead, he approaches the development with the idea: “” What if I can never do another one? “” He adds: “I don’t save any idea for the future. If there is a cool idea, I do my best to get it here. “
That does not mean that he can prevent all follow -up ideas from coming in his head, of course, because he acknowledges that when he was making The Last of Us Part 2“Occasionally an idea dives in your head where it could go if we get the chance to do another.” Unfortunately for anyone who hoped at the last of us 3, he did not respond to what these ideas could have been, even if he has teased that before “There is probably another chapter in this story.”
Barrog, on the other hand, compares his own approach to being like the Meme of Charlie’s Pepe Silvia Conspiracy Board in the always sunny in Philadelphia with the way he tries “connect and plan with all these pieces”. As far as Druckmann is concerned, this requires “a level of trust I just don’t have.”
But without any plans made in advance, what does it look like when Druckmann actually do Start working on a follow -up? He explains that he wonders which unsolved elements are still remaining and where the characters can go, and quips: “I feel that the answer is, they can’t go anywhere, then I go,” I think I think That we will just die.
To be clear, he is ‘half joke’, but he repeats the importance of the team that ‘a new answer’ does not repeat what has come before. He adds: “And if we don’t have a new answer, we have to ask ourselves, is this the right character? Is this the right game for us to work on? Or is it time to find something new?”
At the moment Naughty Dog is working on something completely New in the form of Intergalactic: the heretic prophetA SCI-Fi adventure that looks far away from the earlier games of the studio. It was launched on PS5 in the future at some point.
Naughty Dog’s new SCI-Fi Adventure Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet was inspired by two of the greatest SCI-Fi Anime classics of all time.
